Great photo Michael. In my past life I once or twice came across these guys, sometimes on their own, having walked for days across the middle of nowhere carrying nothing; as a matter of honour and stoicism, completely expressionless – the most noble of people…

Absolutely wonderful!! Precious capture! ({:o)

You’ve captured moment in time that our world just doesn’t see everyday. It is both tender and unpretentious. It is as if she were unaware of your existance. A truly rare and beautiful image. Cheers, Sandra

absolutely gorgeous, A truly rare and beautiful image, thanks so much for sharing!!!

Michael, just add me to the list of well wishers. Bravo! Bravo! This is one fantastic shot. I whole heartedly agree with a fellow RB’er (Sigfusson) in her statement that: ”...You’ve captured a moment in time that our world just doesn’t see everyday…” You’ve captured a simple humanity that we, as a civilization, hadly experience any longer unless, of course, you’re a mother in this special moment with your child. Very well done and, again, CONGRATS!

Congratz on making homepage!!!!

Micheal – I don’t think I’ve ever seen an image of mother and child that captured my spirit more than Michelangelo’s “Pieta.” Your’s is Incredibly moving on every level that speaks to my soul. She is flawless as is her child, and is your photography.

You do such excellent work Michael, just lovely

Fantastic portrait!
My Fav!

A truly wonderful documantary style portrait, and your narrative is very interesting.

Himba ladies are renowned for their smooth, reddish skin, and even the elderly are wrinkle-free. The effect is achieved by daily applications of an ochre-colored clay mixed with ash and animal fat.

The origins of modern day mineral makeup no doubt.

We should learn a lesson from these wonderful people and apply the clay to our bodies.Might make a difference. Fabulous and wonderful capture.

Incredible photograph. So very beautiful.

Fabulous and striking image

Beautiful!! ({:o)
